10 Indian Actors Who Would Make A GREAT Batman

10 Indian Actors Who Would Make A GREAT Batman

There has been much ado about Ben Affleck being cast as the next Batman.

Die-hard Batman fans are outraged over Affleck doing the role, many citing his performance in Daredevil as a reason.

Fans have gone as far as to come up with multiple lists with names of actors they think would be appropriate for the role.

So we decided to have a go as well.

Only, we decided to pick Indian actors.

Here's listing the top 10 Indian men we think would make great Batman!

10. Rajnikanth

They say that everything is possible. And Rajnikanth is everything.

It is only a matter of time before the cult of Rajnikanth is officially recognised as the State Religion of India. Batman could easily be one of the avatars that He descends upon our silver screens in. With Rajni playing Batman, the script would have to incorporate some major changes.

First off, they’ll have to get rid of the Batmobile. Rajnikanth in slow motion is faster than that thing.

Plus, there would be no need for a utility belt. Rajnikanth can use his normal, leather belt and still get the job done.

The bat-signal would be rendered completely useless. Rajni will automatically know when he is needed.

However, by the end of the filming, it may well seem that Batman will end up playing Rajnikanth.

Ajay Devgn

With Ajay Devgn playing the first Marathi-speaking Batman, producers just might have to move the location from Gotham to Mumbai (not that there'd be much difference).

After making his arrival in his trademark fashion -- standing with each leg on a moving horse or automobile -- Devgn's Batman will swoop in with each foot on a flying bat.

Audiences can expect to watch Devgn's Batman uproot lampposts to bring down a jeep full of villains, who are getting away and a couple of exploding cars every now and then.

This Batman will yell "ata majhi satakli" before slaying his enemies and moving on to save the damsel in distress (with whom awkward romance will be indulged in later). Rohit Shetty is expected to direct.

Salman Khan

If Salman Khan were to play Batman, the makers would have to change the title to BatBhai.

BatBhai would be the coolest superhero ever by unanimous decision (because his fans will troll you until you agree). Not only would BatBhai's alter ego be called Robin Hood Wayne but he would also speak English in a different accent every time he has landed at a new airport.

With BatBhai prowling the city at night, you have nothing to fear, except for being run over by the Bhaimobile or a stray bullet from BatBhai's gun (he was just trying to aim at that nasty little endangered species, give the poor boy a break).

The good news is that heavy discounts will be available on all 'Being Bat' merchandise.

Ranveer Singh

This Batman might not be here to save the day but he's definitely there when you need to save a wedding -- from chairs to flower arrangements, he'll handle it all.

When this Batman is not busy ensuring wedding-day bliss, you'll find him perched atop the tallest terrace in the neighbourhood, staring down at the stream of people in the narrow streets below, eyebrows knit together in serious thought as he tries to figure out which woman to sweet talk and con next; because "kya karoon O leddiz main hoon aadat se majboor."

Ranbir Kapoor

Think about it -- a young and aimless Bruce Wayne, distressed by the anger that he has bottled up after his parents' murders, finally finds his true calling as the dark guardian angle of Gotham city. What a lovely coming-of-age drama, no?

Ranbir's Batman would be all about growing up and assuming responsibility, and the film would have a tagline Wake Up Batman.

If we're very patient, and very, very lucky, we just might get to see this Batman leave behind teeny dilemmas and actually go out there and save the city.
